What a lovely evening. The front desk at Eurostar recommended Marcella & they did not miss.
The atmosphere was warm. The 80's music collection was lovely. It has been a while since I listened to Stevie Wonder sing'Part Time Lovers'. The cocktails were well done. Isabella, our server, was very lovely & hospitable.
The food was a delight. The pasta fresh & light. The fish had the perfect balance of crisp & softness.
By the time we were done, there was no place for dessert.
This was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had.
I arrived around 6:00 PM as a walk-in & asked for a table for one. I was told there would be no availability until 8:30 PM, so I left without arguing. However, while I was standing outside looking for another restaurant, I watched several walk-in parties of two & three being seated.
Confused, I went back inside & asked again. The staff said they would'double check,' walked back & forth for a while, & then suddenly seated me. Once I was inside, I immediately noticed there was already an available seat at the bar for one person. I still don't understand why I was originally told to wait for two & a half hours.
Unfortunately, the service only got worse. I ordered a glass of wine, a salad, & a pasta. The wine & salad arrived promptly, but after I had completely finished my salad, my pasta still hadn't arrived. I waited nearly 50 minutes. I was about to cancel the pasta & leave when it finally came out.
By then, I had completely lost my appetite. I only ate a few bites before asking for the bill. The staff asked whether I didn't like the food, & I politely replied that the food was good. They repeatedly insisted that I take the pasta to go. I declined several times but eventually agreed because they kept asking.
When I got back to my hotel & opened the takeout container, I was shocked to find the kitchen order ticket placed directly on top of my pasta. It was literally sitting on the noodles. That is completely unacceptable from a hygiene standpoint & left an awful final impression.
I'm not someone who usually leaves negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly disappointing from beginning to end. I can't help wondering whether I was treated differently, especially considering what happened when I first arrived. Whether that was the case or not, the overall service was unprofessional, disorganized, & disrespectful. I won't be returning.

An amazing dinner! Vasili was excellent with a great sense of humor & paced our meal perfectly. We had the tuna crudo & it was fabulous. Next up was an order of meatballs that melted in your mouth. We also shared the carbonara, which was so fresh. Drinks were delicious as well. Went with the pistachio espresso martini for dessert. A fantastic experience & if visiting again, I would definitely return.
Authentic Italian food at its finest!

Musique un peu forte
Le proprio s'est installé souvent & longtemps entre notre table & la table voisine d'invités qu'il connaissait surement
Mieux de prendre une chaise & non debout juste derrière nous
Tous les clients sont importants, pas seulement les amis
My wife & I stumbled upon this spot. I couldn't begin to say how amazing the cocktails & food are. Lovely wine selections, rich cuisine. Highly recommended.
